When Your Soul Needs a Workout More Than Your Body
We obsess over our physical fitness-tracking macros, logging miles, optimizing sleep cycles. Yet while we're perfecting our planks, our souls are withering from neglect. This disconnect has real consequences: stress-related illness accounts for up to 90% of doctor visits, and millions struggle with a vague sense that something essential is missing from their lives. The exercises here aren't about adding more tasks to an already overwhelming schedule. They're about rediscovering what it means to be fully human in a world that's trained us to be efficient machines. Through simple practices that reconnect us with joy, authenticity, and meaning, we can transform from exhausted "human doings" back into thriving "human beings."
